The main release of Octave (2.0.13) handles 1 and 2-d arrays and
C-style data structures.  The bleeding edge releases additionally
handle 1-d list data structures.  From that, I'd say that your toolbox
is MATLAB-dependent enough to require extensive rewriting for Octave
use.  However, perhaps there are others on the list who'd be interested
in working with you on the port to Octave.
